Psalm 23:4
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
The valley of the shadow of death. The place where evil dwells, the depths of despair where when one is there, they believe they're alone and God has deserted them. Relating to my own life, the closest I have ever been to this place is durning the points of despair where I have cried out to God, accusing Him of desertion. But He is with me. No matter where I am. Omnipresent. Not only is He present, but He holds the rod: protection, and the staff: guidance. He doesn't simply walk beside me through the valleys, but He is there with mechanisms for survival. In Him, death cannot flourish, for He is life. Anything that even compares to the valley is diminished in His glory and presence.
I want to remember, when I am at my lowest that my Savior has never abandoned me. Today I am going to memorize this Psalm.
